[css-flexbox] Why is space-evenly not included as a value option for justify-content and align-content?

[codersjj]

In Flexible Box Layout, justify-content: space-evenly; and align-content: space-evenly; can be used, so why are they not included as value options in this document?

Here are the relevant links to the spec section:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox/#justify-content-property
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox/#align-content-property

Those definitions were actually moved to https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#propdef-justify-content and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#propdef-align-content, which refer to <content-distribution> that includes space-evenly.

So the outdated definitions in CSS Flexbox should actually be removed.

I also saw the relevant definitions in the CSS Box Alignment Module documentation, but what I meant is that the related definitions in the CSS Flexible Box Layout Module should be updated, not removed.:persevere:

The note in the section 8 of the Flexbox spec says that a subset of the box alignment properties and values was copied into the Flexbox spec only temporarily, to speed up its development. The CSS Box Alignment spec is supposed to be the single source of truth for the alignment properties and values for all layout mechanisms, and other specs (CSS Flexbox, CSS Grid, etc.) should just refer to it.

It's obvious that I did not read the documentation carefully. Thank you very much, I understand it clearly now.
